1.1. Reference Design Overview

The reference design consists of the following components:
  • a10_pcie_reference_design—top-level wrapper for the reference design, connecting the board support package (BSP) subsystem to the device pins.
  • bsp_top—top-level of the design that contains all subsystems of the design. This module consists of three main sub-components - the PCIe* IP core, the DDR4 External Memory Interfaces IP core, and the design top module. This layer of abstraction allows simulation of the design top module through simulated Avalon® Memory-Mapped ( Avalon® -MM) transactions.
  • design_core—core of the design that handles generation of the PR region, the interface components such as clock crossing Avalon-MM logic and pipeline logic, clocks, and the global reset.
